Spinach and zucchini salad topped with crumbled goat cheese

Mmmmmm zucchini…….or courgette depending where you hail from. We can’t decide what to call it at our place.

This is a cooked zucchini salad, so it’s chunky and hearty but fresh. So it’s great all year round from Winter to Summer.

I like to add some lemon zest to freshen it up and the flavonoids in the rind are good for you. Don’t quote me, you can Google ‘flavonoids lemon zest benefits’ or ScienceDirect have an interesting article.

Just a note I say ‘roughly chopped’ frequently in these recipes. It’s my way of saying unfortunately you can’t throw it in whole but it doesn’t have to be pretty.
